BTW - the driver I'm using for the powervault 114t is the Quantum Corporation
QntmDLT.sys version 2.5.

The message you mention sounds like an error when a tape device is attached to a RAID controller. If your drive is attached to a RAID controller you need to remove it and attach it to a SCSI controller this will eliminate your error.

 

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your reply. I have it connected to bus 1, target id 5.

I also noticed that the Dell Powervault CD refers to the following driver:

Drivers Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and Windows® Server™ 2003: QSDLT32.SYS

However, I'm using the default driver that was supplied when I built the system.
QntmDLT.sys version 2.5.

I suspect that my driver was obtained from microsoft. I have been unable to find the driver QSDLT32.SYS anywhere, including the dell site.

Thanks again.

Hi Bob,

I have it (tape drive) attached to the external scsi connector on back of the poweredge 1750. How could this conflict w/ a RAID controller?

Thanks

Yes. You're starting to scare me. :-) Can I not support this device w/ the poweredge 1750 unless I buy another SCSI?

Hi Bob,

Can I disable ROMB? If so, will I still be able to use the disk mirroring feature when I configured my OS? I'm guessing that I don't necessarily need the ROMB.

Thanks for all of your help.

ok - thanks Bob. At least I'm now on the right track thanks to your help.

if i have to reload everything, then i'll definitely opt for another scsi controller.

is romb the default for the powervault? did i screw up when i made the purchase?

I don't know how the server comes configured to the customer but this is a common mistake made.

Bob,

Thanks again for your help. Your advice was right on the money. No more
errors - no more crashes. :-)
